The “brown gold” of the Aztecs conquers the world

Cocoa beans are the seeds of the cocoa tree, which originates from South America. Cocoa is now also grown in Africa and Asia. It needs a great deal of warmth and water.

Cocoa beans were used from 1000 years BC in Central America. The Aztecs used cocoa beans to prepare spicy drinks, for sacrificial offerings and as a means of payment. After the Spanish conquest, the “brown gold” became popular worldwide as a drink and to make chocolate and other foods. In 2020, the global harvest of cocoa beans was 5,596,397 tons.
